Remy Ma wanted to join Real Housewives Of New York City… but lost out because she lived New Jersey

Rapper Remy Ma reportedly competed for a reboot of Real Housewives Of New York City until her residency sank her chances.

RHONY star Eboni K. Williams suggested Remy, 42, as a potential star who could shake up the series, sources familiar with the discussions said. TMZ.

However, by the time she was considered, Remy had moved to New Jersey full-time, which was a major sticking point for producers.

According to the sources, Ebony brought up Remy as a possibility months ago, which helped her get a virtual chat with the team responsible for casting the Bravo series.

But although the musician (real name: Reminisce Mackie) was born and raised in The Bronx and spent most of her life in New York City, her current living situation has been a major sticking point.

According to the sources, she used to have an apartment in Midtown Manhattan, but she sold it and now lives mainly in New Jersey.

She might not even have made it to the casting team chat if her home base had been known, but RHONY’s staff initially got the impression that she was still living in New York.

However, once that detail was revealed, representatives reportedly cut any discussion about Remy joining the long-running reality series.

It’s a surprising hard line considering several housewives aren’t even married, and it’s not uncommon for wealthy New Jersey residents to spend a lot of time in New York City.

TMZ also reported that TV news anchor Tamsen Fadal, who appears on CW partner PIX11, was another new face under consideration for season 14, but her candidacy also failed to materialize.

So far, the cast of the upcoming RHONY season has not been announced.

Andy Cohen previously announced that the final season will be getting a full reboot after a hit and miss season 13, in which the housewives couldn’t agree on a time to film a reunion special.

To clean up the house, Bravo will be sweeping away the most divisive housewives to create a new cast, though it’s not clear if any of the women will continue with the series.

But to please fans of the original show, there will also be a second spin-off featuring the stars of RHONY over the years.

New Blood: Andy Cohen previously announced that the final season will be completely rebooted after a mixed season 13; Karen Huger, Garcelle Beauvais, Teresa Giudice, Alexia Echevarria, Gizelle Bryant, Kyle Richards and Kenya Moore seen in NYC in May
